Aha ! Good Memories.

I also have some vague memories about Restaurant Die Blaue Staube in Memmingen, beer, you, me and a mirror Iwan... :-) For people who want to see more, check http://www.franknoort.nl/dinotrip/dino-30-04.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :-D

Roel. Fantastische Plaat ! Wow, that Black Horse in that picture is almost poetry, beautiful !

Jaco, Nice to see some pictures of the Recce Meet at Florennes. At that very moment I knew I had to go digital soon! Damn you with that EOS 60D, I should have gone digital earlier

Anyway, in 1989 I did not have a digital camera. My equipment was a Minolta X-700 and a bag full of Kodak 64 slide films. I had a few of them scanned, and I can tell you, it is quite a piece of work to get some colours out of it. It took a while to get them right, but I am happy to show some more Dinosaurs. Here the results of the UK trip in 1989 (Woodbridge, Bentwaters, Coltishall, Wyton, Fairford) which I made with the other half of Dappa: Tieme Festner

Coltishall 17 July 1989

Wyton 20 July 1989

Thanks Bosje

Ah ja Swedish Drakens. And Finnish Drakens too. Also someting to look up in my slide collections. God, so much to do !

I like the picture of the Jaguars at Coltishall, Tonno. Wish I could go back in time. I miss that place.

GP± Your certainly had your fun with the French Jags on deployment in Italy, here one I took at Istrana during the Dinotrip I mentioned earlier

Frank really, it was a very nice period for us here, also @ Aviano; I saw so many different operational and armed aircraft I think (and hope) I will not see in the future...., even if there were some security problems. But sad was the reason of the deployments....

ciao GP

here some dinos in Aviano hoping you do not care if I post here:

Thanks for the time warp guys :lol: Those pics looks great. Keep them coming.

Almost forgotten those French Jag's.
The Nokia TF-104G 'ringtone'
Take a look at this site for marvellous F-104 sounds for FREE. Should be easy to put them on your mobile phone and use them as ringtone. Have fun
